I am going through the Ladybird version of all this so I can understand and those who are interested in the topic can understand. It appears to me there is an involvement of elected public representatives, be they ministers or Members of the European Parliament, at a high level but at the level many of these recommendations come from, there is very little political input. By political input I mean that sometimes when you are sitting around the table with officials and politicians you tend to be able to find an area the officials have perhaps overlooked or maybe one the politicians do not understand and out of the conversation comes clarity.
